Features: Gifted education is not about cultivating prodigies or overwhelming children with a mountain of books; it is about providing children with the right and superior educational conditions, allowing their potential to be maximally realized. The concepts advocated in this book, the stories it describes, and the methods it introduces offer valuable inspiration, reference, and timely assistance for implementing new curricula. Gifted education in the United States is student-centered, society-based, focused on cultivating abilities, human-oriented, aimed at developing Learning-explorers (students), and ultimately oriented toward "self-education."
